Marlow, UK - Cobham Apprentice Ben Ealey-Newman
has been awarded the British Safety Council 'Young Health and
Safety Champion of the Year' award at an event ceremony at the
Grosvenor House in London that took place on May 6th.
Ben was nominated for the award, which received entries from over
100 organisations worldwide and included a range of
sectors.
The award demonstrates Ben's commitment to the health, safety
and wellbeing of his colleagues at Cobham during 2015 and
recognises the important contribution to the workplace made by
him.
Tom Garvey, VP of Cobham Antenna Systems congratulated Ben and
said, "This award demonstrates the outstanding commitment made by
Ben to help manage risks to people's health, safety and welfare in
our workplace. This year's award by the British Safety
Council is evidence of a great deal of individual effort made by
Ben, who has gone the extra mile over and above his professional
roles and responsibilities. I would like to both congratulate and
thank him for these efforts, which play an extremely important part
of everyone's lives."
Reflecting on the award, Ben said "Winning this award is a great
honour and I am really thankful to both Cobham and the British
Safety Council for recognising my achievement. Health and Safety is
such an important thing yet often it's taken for granted in the
workplace. Spending a few minutes making sure the work areas are
safe for me and my colleagues could go on to have a massive impact
on someone's life, which is why I am so passionate about Health and
Safety."
Ben aspires to fulfil a career working in the health, safety and
environmental arena within Cobham.
